Dorothy working on Fiona
Kaylee painting Frisky
Mara painting Max
I captured a photo of Kaylee and Dorothy with their finished pet portraits from Saturday’s Pet Portrait Workshop. (See it below.) Mara got away before I could get her finished photo. I’ll try to get a photo of her with the finished Max to show you all. They all turned out great! You girls are terrific. Thanks for making Saturday so much fun!!!

This is Max Booe.
This is Max’s portrait.
This is Judi, Max’s mom after she received the gift of Max’s portrait from the friend who commissioned the painting. She likes it.

This is Cochise. He is a beautiful Rottweiler that I got to meet recently. I had actually met him and his sister, Cheyenne, as pups. But now that he is grown and well over 100 pounds he’s a lot of dog when he jumps up to hug you!
These beautiful babies belong to Betty and Steve who commissioned their paintings. You can see Cheyenne here.

Dog Park I & II are two watercolor paintings that I did about 5 years ago as the first fundraiser for the Off-Leash Dog Park. These pieces were raffled and then we made prints to sell all to benefit the park. Prints are still available at Delilah’s with the proceeds benefiting the park fund.
Hard to believe that we’ve been working on building an off-leash park 
for that long but we have. The good news is that we are working on our final fundraiser. It’s a raffle also. (We’ve come full circle!) We call it the Westminster Dog Show Raffle because we have tied it to the show coming up February 13-14, 2012. If you want to help just buy at ticket for $10. The number on your raffle ticket will be randomly assigned to one of the 185 breeds showing this year at Westminster. If your dog wins, you win $350. You have a 1 in 185 chance to win.
We will be at Petco in Front Royal Saturday beginning at 10:00 to sell tickets. Stop in and get yours. Or stop by Delilah’s. We have tickets there too. Or contact me at kwalker@doubledogdesigns.com and I’ll get a ticket to you. When we finish this fundraiser we’ll be ready to break ground. Can I hear a Halleluiah!!!!!

A few weeks ago Mia (on the left in photo) brought in a sock monkey that she had gotten. It sings!
We decided to have a photo shoot and took some pictures of sock monkey and painted his portrait. Good job girls.

Tammy’s Otis, acrylic on 12″x12″ canvas. This little beauty is a rescue that belongs to my friends Tammy and Tim. He’s a lucky fellow because I think she treats her babies as good as I do. 🙂

Meet Fancy. She’s a German Shorthair Pointer pup that belongs to some friends. I met her yesterday and you talk about cute!!!! She oozes cute.
Now meet Jade. Fancy is a member of her family and she wanted to paint a picture of her for her mom. We met yesterday for a lesson and she came up with this terrific painting! Great job!
And while Jade is only 7 years old, she is such a sweet and mannerly girl that she brought me a wonderful thank you note before we even started our painting. Adorable!
